The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checking in. Let's talk about what Jaconé is looking like.
Right now we're in a bit of a lull. The first few days are pretty flat and weak, with wind that's just not playing ball. Not much worth paddling out for. But once we get into the second week, it ramps up big time.
Heads up for Sunday, August 11. We get a proper SSW push, with swell hitting 8ft and a clean 10-second period. The energy reading is massive at 1793, and with glassy conditions early Tuesday morning, this is the one to circle on the calendar. This is powerful stuff, though—only for the experts. Beginners, take a pass.
That size holds strong. Into Wednesday the 12th, we’re still looking at 6ft from the south, with glass again in the morning. Really clean. Then it peaks around Thursday the 13th, with 8ft of south swell and a long 12-second period. The energy is over 2000, so this is a serious swell. The afternoon of the 13th looks best with offshore ESE winds, making it prime for the experienced crowd.
This run from the 11th to the 16th is solid. Water temp is about 72°F, which is average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
Bottom line: the first week is a wash, but the second week is the real deal. The absolute best is Tuesday the 11th, for that combo of size and glass. The rest of the week has plenty of juice, just watch the wind. Jaconé can get busy when it's like this, so expect some company.
Stay stoked.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
